I learned a great deal of significant information from these articles about what life was like for people during the Great Depression. The significant information that I learned from these interviews was that times were hard for many people, and that it was difficult for many to remain optimistic.
One reason for this is that a lot of the work was dangerous, and people were generally hurt. This is best shown during the interview with Chris Thorsten. He says that you aren't a real Iron worker unless you get killed. He talks about how he worked on the Hotel New Yorker, and that two people died while building it. You can listen to his interview here. Another worker who talked about the danger of work was Mr. Garavelli Stonecutter. He said that Sicilia kills many people. He even described it as "a knife in your chest." You can read the interview here. Not only were times hard, but if you were an African American you were discriminated. For example, a packing house worker named Jim Cole said that he was denied entrance into a Union because he was an African American. He said "Never said it to my face, but reason is plain. Negro." Women also faced problems. Anna Novak discussed some of these issues in her interview. She said "You could get along swell if you let the boss slap you on the behind..."
The Depression hurt many people and families both emotionally and physically. Many people were killed doing extremely dangerous work to survive.
